TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: AGAINST THE GRAIN(5)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry
The Tarry yard holds a very strong hand in this six furlong contest and the lesser experienced AGAINST THE GRAIN is the narrow first selection. Of course this bay son of Curved Ball was quietly fancied when he ran on strongly for a close 2nd on debut on the tight inside circuit at Turffontein last Sunday in open company from the worst draw of the dozen entrants. In stark contrast, he has cracked pole position today.
Race 3: KATEECADOR(6)
Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: G Van Zyl
The three-year old KATEECADOR caused a major upset when she finished strongly to easily beat GINGER BISCUIT (1kg better off) over five furlongs on this course recently and she seemed to cope with the extra furlong well in her prior start on soft ground. Of course she takes a steep rise in class now but the daughter of Toreador will strip fitter and she has a low mass and good draw.
Race 4: HARD TO PLAY(2)
Jockey: S Randolph - Trainer: W Whitehead
HARD TO PLAY showed an impressive turn of foot when he beat lesser rivals in convincing fashion over this trip on the grass recently and he will have no issues raising his game today. The joint best weighted entrant has a smart record on this surface and he holds strong claims of following up.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 7: MATADOR MAN(5)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: S Tarry
The day's topliner is a highly competitive affair which sees defending champion MATADOR MAN take his place in this line-up despite gaining entry into the Vodacom Durban July a week from today. The Tarry inmate has seemingly peaked at the right time of the season and he should have finished closer but for traffic issues in his last contest where the 4th placed entrant, Platinum Prince produced a pleasing subsequent performance behind July favourite African Night Sky. The Toreador gelding has an obvious affinity for this track.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 6: MIGHTY VALDIE(3)
Jockey: C Zackey - Trainer: S Tarry
The former KZN resident MIGHTY VALDIE has done well since relocating to the Highveld and he has formed a particularly successful partnership with today's in-form rider. The pair should have gone even closer but for traffic issues in a competitive last contest. He has experience on this surface and can make amends.
